Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face: "Could it be that you want me to give up the foundation that the emperor had laid with great difficulty, if this is the case, what face will I have to meet the emperor in the future!?" ”

Liu Qi was reluctant to attack those families, and he didn't have to break through to Xiangyang, which was already a lonely city, which made Huang Zhong clench his fists with a look of urgency: "But Your Majesty, according to the current situation, is it possible for our army to turn defeat into victory?" ”

Liu Qi frowned, did not answer, turned defeat into victory, if it was possible, he wanted to say yes, but the reality did not even give him a chance to deceive himself.

Just when Liu Qi and Huang Zhong were relatively speechless, a voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Qi, "Your Majesty, General Huang Zhong is right!" At this time, only by breaking through, can my Han still have a glimmer of life! ”

Liu Qi hurriedly turned around, only to see Jing Liang and Jing Yue coming together, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then complained with concern: "Zirou's love is injured, how can she come here?" ”

In the previous siege battles, Jing Liang can be said to be beyond everyone's imagination, obviously a civil servant, but he is still fighting at the forefront, which can be said to have changed most people's opinion of him, and Liu Qi is one of them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jing Liang hugged his fists and bowed with emotion. Immediately, his face turned pale, "Your Majesty, what General Huang Zhong said is extremely true!" Your Majesty must consider the breakout as soon as possible! ”

Jing Yue on the side nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, our army is only afraid that it will not last for three days!" ”

Liu Qi didn't speak, his face was embarrassed, giving up Xiangyang is almost equivalent to giving up the foundation passed down by Liu Biao, how can this be accepted by Liu Qi.

Jing Liang saw this. Of course, knowing Liu Qi's thoughts at the moment, he couldn't help but sigh. Persuaded: "Weichen understands what His Majesty is thinking!" But now is not the time to think about that! Your Majesty, as long as you can break through from Xiangyang, then you still have a chance to make a comeback! Meantime. Breaking through Xiangyang does not mean giving up the Han Dynasty, giving up the foundation created by the previous emperor, Gao Zushang and Pengcheng were defeated, so that in the end the world is still in my Han Dynasty, why should Your Majesty be stuck for a while? ”

Liu Qi said with luck: "Maybe Sun Jian's army in the east will soon be able to break through Shouchun, and force Cao Cao to have to return to defend it!?" ”

Jing Liang and Jing Yue shook their heads together, and Jing Liang said: "Although Sun Jian raised a large army to attack Shouchun, but under the garrison army led by Zhang Liao and Cao Pi, I don't know how long it will take to capture Shouchun!" It is impossible to force Cao Cao to return to defend in a short period of time! As for Liu Zhang in the west. He is still holding on to the Wei army's Guanzhong troops at the moment, and there is no need to count on him in a short time! ”

Liu Qi was finally silent, and after a long moment, he nodded with heaviness and pain: "Okay then! Gather your army and prepare to break out tonight! ”

Jing Liang and Jing Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hugged their fists in agreement.

On the other side, the Wei army retreated to the camp, and Cao Cao and the generals returned to the big tent.

As soon as Cao Cao entered the big tent, he hurried to the map rack, and the generals gathered behind Cao Cao. Cao Cao's finger moved on the map, stopped in the direction where Shouchun was, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I just received a letter from Wen Yuan and Ziheng. Sun Jian of Wu led an army of 150,000 to the north, and launched a fierce attack on the first day, and our army was in one day. Nearly eight thousand casualties! ”

The generals were shocked when they heard this, and Cao Ren asked urgently, "Your Majesty." What about the situation on the Wu side? ”

Cao Cao showed a hint of relief and replied, "The losses of the Wu army are not low. There should be nearly 20,000, and most of them are elite soldiers under Sun Jianying! Fortunately, Wen Yuan had already foreseen Sun Jian's attack in advance, so he reorganized his army in Shouchun and was not caught off guard by being killed. ”

After listening to Cao Cao's narration, the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Guo Jia on the side said: "It's okay, it's okay!" Although Wu Guo was almost caught off guard, he failed to fundamentally reverse the decline! After a pause, he clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, you can order General Wen Yuan to order a general to be stationed near Shouchun and reach a corner with Shouchun in the village of Yishanxia, so that the Wu army has no way to attack with all its strength!" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and nodded, "That's the best!" Then he raised his voice and said, "Someone! ”

One of Cao Cao's personal soldiers, that is, the Imperial Forest Sergeant, immediately lifted the curtain and entered, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know Your Majesty, what do you expect?" ”

"Immediately ordered Zhang Liao to lead a partial division to the side of Shouchun, and reached a corner with Shouchun according to the mountain village, so that the Wu army had no way to attack! And remember, you can't attack, you can only defend! As long as Shouchun is kept, otherwise the forces of Wu will go north to the Central Plains, and I will remember him as a great achievement! ”

"Yes!" The Wei army's imperial forest sergeant answered the promise and withdrew from the big tent.

Cao Cao returned to the main seat and sat down, glanced at the generals under his tent, and said with a smile: "After two days of fierce attack, Xiangyang City is already crumbling!" I believe that it won't be long before we can drink and celebrate in the palace in Xiangyang! ”

Cao Cao's words made all the generals in the big tent laugh.

Cao Cao then looked at Cai Mao and asked, "Jing Liang, did they have any news from Jing Yue?" ”

Jing Liang, Jing Yue, these two brothers, as early as Cao Cao led a large army to the city, has already presented a letter of allegiance to Cao Cao, I have to say, the literati rebellion, obviously higher than the martial rebellion, in order to be able to reduce Liu Qi and the defenders in the city to the greatest extent The vigilance, Jing Liang, Jing Yue brothers also sang a double reed with the Wei army, that is, Jing Liang is not afraid of life and death to fight on the top of the city.

The final result is obvious, Jing Liang suddenly changed from a family with bad intentions to a loyal minister loyal to the Han Dynasty, and if such a loyal minister wants to rebel, the possibility of being discovered is extremely small.

Cai Mao immediately replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, Jing Liang is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the north gate of Xiangyang tonight!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and immediately ordered: "Zixiao, the military horses under your command will rest for a while, and then go out to the north gate to wait for help!" "Yes!" Cao Ren excitedly clenched his fists and promised.

"Zilong, you lead your military horses to lurk outside the south gate, once the south gate is opened, you will immediately lead the army to kill! Make no mistake! ”

"Yes!"

"Ziyi and Meng Qi, you two led your troops and horses to lurk outside the West Gate and the East Gate respectively to intercept and defeat the army!"

"Yes!" Tai Shici and Ma Chao made a promise together.

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Guo Jia behind him, and said, "Zhong Kang and Dian Wei, Feng Xiao will act with the Chinese army!" ”

Hearing Cao Cao's order, the three of them hugged their fists and promised, and then all the generals withdrew from the big tent and prepared to go. (To be continued......)
